1. According to this video, Linux is an example of open-source software 2. As explained in this video, an inventory management program is an example of application software. 3. As the two characters describe in this video, all of the following are a function of operating systems software except creating a presentation. 4. AccuMed is a software package used by doctors to schedule patient appointments. According to the information presented in this video, AccuMed is vertical-market software. 5. According to the information presented in this video, Microsoft Office is not an operating system software. 1. According to the information presented in this video, a spreadsheet is great to manage information about one thing (e.g., items for sale), but a database is preferred to manage information about more than one thing (e.g., items for sale and suppliers ofitems). 2. As Jack explains to Kate, a database is a collection of integrated records. 3. According to the information presented in this video, a database management system (DBMS) is a software program for creating, processing, and administering a database. 4. In this video, Jack describes how metadata describe characteristics of each field. 5. According to Jack's explanation of the structure of relational database tables, each row is a unique record for one of the items in the table and each column is an attribute of the item about columns and rows is true? Knowledge Needed: Technology Kelly, the GearUp CEO, calls you into her office and says that she feels that her management team and the GearUp company as a whole do not know enough about computers. She says that in order to maintain competitive advantage over other companies, she wants you to learn about hardware, software, and mobile systems so that you will be able to give her advice on what technology GearUp needs to use, both within the company and to connect with customers. Hardware What kind of hardware should GearUp invest in? Choosing Software Next, GearUp needs to choose a software program to track and log 360-degree employee reviews (where employees review supervisors, peers, and direct reports). Which software program looks promising? Software Problem Soon after you choose Review 360, Kelly comes to you with a problem. "As you know, every non-management GearUp employee has a work mentor. I wanted mentors and their advisees to review each other in the system as well, but there's no place for that in the application we selected. What can we do about that?" What do you tell her? Open-Source Software After you have decided on a software program, you show Kelly the costs of the program. She asks you, "Can't we just choose a free open-source product instead? Surely there's something already developed out there we could find to use." How do you answer? Open Source Alternatives You investigate open-source products and find that there are none that fit GearUp's specific needs for a 360-degree review program. You will have to buy the licensed software after all. Interacting with the System Kelly decides that the software you purchased does not have the right kind of user interface design, and hires a programmer to modify it. He offers you and Kelly two choices. Which do you select? Infection! Employees use their mobile devices to connect to the new review system and almost immediately encounter compatability problems. You spend two weeks trying to work those out, and then the system crashes. You learn that the system was infected with a virus that came from someone's cell phone. Much of the data is permanently lost, and you must hire a programming team to fix the problem. Kelly is not pleased with you. Re-Thinking Mobile Access After your negative experience with employees using mobile devices to access the review system, what do you decide to do now? Training Session Kelly asks you to hold a training session to share the knowledge you have learned about computers with the company as a whole. You set up a training session both as a webcast and in person for those employees in the building. Leading the Training Session As you welcome people into the training session, several complain to you. "We're business people. We're not IT! Why do we need to know this?" How do you answer them? 1. According to the information presented in this video, a spreadsheet is great to manage information about one thing (e.g., items for sale), but a database is preferred to manage information about more than one thing (e.g., items for sale and suppliers ofitems). 2.
